Far more entertaining than any single human being with an acoustic guitar is allowed to be under current law, Mark is a performer who refuses to be anyone's background music.
His punchy, well-crafted songs and rapid-fire delivery allow audiences little time to indulge in the laughter he frequently provokes without feeling like they've missed something. This, apparently, is okay with Mark, reluctant as he is to be labeled a comic songwriter. Not that he disdains laughter. Far from it. He'd just rather write a good song than a funny one. But hey, if it turns out funny that's cool too.
Sometimes he has a beard. Sometimes he doesn't. He usually wears a hat.
